Description
Once upon a time, three young sisters survived a catastrophic house fire… Years later, one of them disappears and then another, and it is left to the eldest sister to find out whether something else survived… A dark, twisty, page-turning modern gothic horror from the award-winning author of The Cold House.
When sisters Chloe, Zoe, and Dido were children, their father died, and their mother could no longer care for them, so they were sent to live with the local doctor’s family: mother, father, and three sons. Soon after, however, Ashwood Farm burned to the ground, and only the three young girls survived.
Years later, the sisters live very separate lives, each dealing with their painful past in different ways. But when first Chloe, and then Zoe disappears, it’s left to Dido to rake through their history and find out if her sisters are still in the world or paying the price for what happened that long ago summer night.
